Business customers often don’t realize that they spend 3 percent to 5 percent of their revenue on business printing,” said Richard Lowe, President of Franchise Services. “Our goal with this partnership is to provide our franchisees with new print and marketing solutions that can be used to help their customers reduce costs and improve productivity.”
The partnership will utilize Mimeo’s print technology platform, customized for each FSI franchise location. Customers will have remote access to a scalable solution that includes a virtual proofing capability, an unlimited online document library, document management, ordering and tracking tools. Once orders are submitted, they will be optimally produced and then routed to the customer’s intended destination.
The partnership is designed to capture a larger share of the $108 billion dollar global digital print market, with a focus on the 65 percent of all print expenditures that fall to production print solutions such as printing and marketing service providers. The virtual library alone promises significant productivity gains such as the elimination of the 150 hours per year the average customer wastes searching for documents.
